Could nuclear winter stop another ice age?

Updated: 8/17/2019

No. A nuclear winter (by its name) is a cold period brought on by dust and debris in the atmosphere blocking out the sun after a nuclear explosion. This lack of sun would cause the earth to cool dramatically depending on the size of the blast. If a nuclear winter occurred we would be heading into another ice age rather than away from it.

Can you stop nuclear fallout?

Since fallout is created when a nuclear explosion lifts dirt and debris particles into the air and irradiates them, there is no way to 'stop' nuclear fallout from occurring except by never exploding a nuclear weapon on or near the ground. You CAN stop nuclear fallout from reaching you, though, if you have a good strong shelter that is lined with enough dirt or sand (or thick walls and ceilings using many feet of metal and/or concrete), etc.
